Sterzing is a beautiful medieval town, also known as Fugger city, which owes its rise to mining in the Middle Ages. The historic town centre of Sterzing is divided into the old town to the north with its colourful houses and the new town, which was built after the town fire of 1433. Vipiteno's landmark, the Zwölferturm tower, is located right between the old and new town centres. Vipiteno is perfect for people who like history and love nature, as there is plenty of both here.
